Basal Cell Carcinoma on the Eyelids: Own Experience

Approximately 16% of all tumors were located on the eyelids. The majority of tumors were situated on the lower eyelid. Noduloulcerative clinical type was observed in 96.3% of tumors. This type was significantly more frequently found on eyelids than on trunk and extremities (p<0.00001). The histologic nodular type was the most common found on eyelids. It was significantly more common on eyelids than on trunk and extremities (p=0.002). The superficial type was significantly less frequently found on the eyelids (p<0.00001). The infiltrative type was significantly more seldom observed on the eyelids compared with other locations of head and neck region (p=0.048). Some technical aspects of reconstructive surgery of the eyelids are presented.
